Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1018 No one can argue
At the back door of the Prince of Qin's Palace.

Qin Zhixu, lifeless, with her face bare and her hair disheveled, lay on the cold stone slab. A white cloth with the word "injustice" written in blood red covered most of her body. On her exposed right hand, the tip of her index finger was turned outward and covered with a thick blood scab.

Qin's mother heard the bad news and rushed over. Seeing the tragic scene, she hugged Qin Zhixu and cried so hard that she fainted. Qin Zongliang's eyes were red and he ordered his servants to send his mother back for treatment.

The King of Qin was slandered and was so angry that he ignored Jia Yu's attempt to stop him. He rushed to the back door and argued with Qin Zongliang, accusing him of framing his own sister's life.

Qin Zongliang argued with him, and the King of Qin was so angry that he almost burst into curses, but was dragged into the palace by Jia Yu and Sun Jian.

"I only have this one sister. I have made her suffer so much injustice during her lifetime. I will never let her be slandered even after her death! Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will clear my sister's name!"

After Qin Zongliang finished speaking, he looked at Qin Zhixu lying on the ground. He staggered and pushed away Xue Ren who was supporting him. He looked heartbroken, half-knelt and held Qin Zhixu in his arms, his voice sad:

"Brother will take you home..."

Qin Zongliang used up all his strength, carefully picked up Qin Zhixu, refused Xue Ren's help, and walked towards the Duke's Mansion step by step.

The onlookers were moved by this scene and spontaneously made way for Qin Zongliang.

Not long after they walked, Qin Zongliang staggered and swayed twice, then fell down with weak legs. Xue Ren quickly caught him, and he and the servants hurriedly moved him into the carriage, and then moved Qin Zhixu into another carriage:
"Send the Third Miss... back to the mansion!"

The people whispered, "I heard that Duke Qin and Uncle Qin both fell ill one after another. Looking at the complexion of Prince Qin, I'm afraid he has been taking care of the sick these days. His sister died suddenly, so it would be strange if he didn't collapse."

"Speaking of this... the person who framed Miss Qin is really wicked. He forced a good person to death."

Looking at the Qin Palace right before their eyes, the onlookers dared not name the Duke's Mansion, but they lowered their voices to speak up for the Duke's Mansion. "Who said it wasn't true? Did you see Miss Qin's hand? You can see that she wrote the letter in blood with her own finger cut. If she hadn't been wronged, she wouldn't have given up her life."

"This Duke's Mansion is also the Empress's family. It's unfair if you say it's unfair. After all, they are members of the Heavenly Family."

Jia Yu ordered his servants to close the door of his mansion to keep out the reproachful glances and discussions.

Seeing Chu Chengye kicking over the stone bench in the pavilion, Jia Yu was still furious. He went forward to persuade him, but Chu Chengye kicked him away and spit out blood.

Chu Chengye was stunned for a moment when he saw this: I didn’t seem to have used that much strength…

Without waiting for him to think about it, Sun Jian hurried forward and helped the frail Jia Yu up.

Jia Yu relied on Sun Jian's strength to stand firm, coughing and giving earnest advice:

"Your Highness, cough cough... Qin Zongliang is just trying to provoke you so that you won't be able to defend yourself. You must not be fooled, cough cough cough..."

For the first time, Sun Jian felt dissatisfied with his master:
"Your Highness, please let the court doctor treat Master Jia's injuries first. Master Jia is devoted to Your Highness, you shouldn't treat him like this..."

Chu Chengye knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't care about what Sun Jian said. He waved his hand and asked Sun Jian to take people to treat the injuries.

As soon as he was helped out of the yard, Jia Yu held Sun Jian's arm tightly:

"Brother Sun, His Highness is the most important. I will take you there. You should go back and look after His Highness immediately. Do not let His Highness act on impulse."

After several arguments, Sun Jian could no longer give in and sent Jia Yu to the entrance of the government hospital before leaving in a hurry.
